This is time when Ministers are
starting out on new Conference year,
when the schools are starting up, and
when, in the long evenings and beau
tiful autumn days, there is a good
time for serious thought and calm
reading. 1t is the beginning of good
influences, time when the noble side
Of the social system begins to take
the reins and claim the public atten-
ton. Soon we will have the week of
prayer, the church REVIVAL the Sun
day school exhibition, and other mat
ters connected with spiritual things.
Let every man, woman and child re-
solve that from now henceforth there
shall be nothing in his or her conduct
inconsistent with true Christian life.
1t is a good time to make good resolu-
tions-but remember, friends, it is not
the time for test of Christian charac-
ter. During the dull, heated months
Of next Summer will come the test.
Let each one look beyond the solemn
and dreamy Autumn, and resolve by
the help Of the great Father, to live
righteously, not only this year,
but for all the wears to come.

At Union Hill, N. j., the authori-
ties know pretty well how to handle
Anarchists. A notice was given that
on last Sunday a meeting would be
held. in the Rink. to take action con-
demning the hanging of the Chicago
murderers. At the hour set the po-
lice had charge of the Rink, and the
bullying anarchists made a rush for
the building The officers beat them
back with their clubs A second
charge was made by the Anarchists,
this time with weapons. The local
fire company attached hose to a hy-
drant near by, ready to drench the
ruffians, and the G.. A. R. Post stood
to their arms ready to give terrible
assistance In putting down any riot
by the murderous scoundrels. But
the police were equal to the occasion,
and pounded the bullies with their
clubs until they ran. Such murder
Gus rufians ought to be shot down
like so many mad dogs, without any
parleying or encouragement Of any
kind. There is no room in America
for fellow who has nothing better
to advocate than murder. Kill the
brutes. That is the medicine for
them.

Merinda j., daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. E. Smith, was born near Oak Hill,
March II, 1887, and was united to M. E.
Roach on the 21st of July, 1887, and died
September 26, 1887, aged 16 years, 6
months, and Is days. She had been sick
for some time, but not serious until Fri
day before her death. She joined the U.
B. Church in January, 1886. She was a
faithful member of the Sabbath School
and Church until her death. She called
her husband to her bedside on the morn
ing of her death, and told him that she
was going to rest; that the way was so
bright. She asked him to meet her in
heaven, and bade him farewell, and said,
"Now 1 am ready to 60" The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Hughes.
She leaves a husband, father and mother,
sisters and brothers, and many friends to
mourn the loss.
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lord"
Send me- Lord, where thou wilt send me,
Only do Thou guide my way;
May Thy grace through life attend me,
Gladly Thou shall obey.
Thine am, o, Lord, forever,
To Thy service set apart;
Suffer me to leave Thee never,
Seal Thine image on my heart.

The National Encamnment.
GENERAL REA, AN OLD OHIO SOLDIER,
THE New COMMANDER.

General T. Rea was elected as Com
mander-in-Chief Of the G.. A. r. by
the st. Louis encampment. His COM
petitor was Gen. Slocum. Gen. Rea
first enlisted as private in the Elev-
enth Ohio Infantry, and was after
ward made a Second Lieutenant in
First Ohio Cavalry. His promotion
was rapid, and from meritorious con-
duct. He is at present resident Of
Minneapolis, MINI.
During the encampment the follow
ing resolution was introduced by Com
rade Vandervort:
Resolved, also, That while we rec
ognize that the disapproval Of any
measure presented TO him by Congress
is constitutional prerogative of the
President, exercised by him according
to his discretion, yet we can not feel
that this involves also the privilege of
going beyond the bounds Of that pow
er to officially insult or slander the
broken down and needy men to whom
the Nation owes everything.
Resolved, also, That the dependent
pension bill passed by the Forty ninth
Congress, and vetoed by the President,
was the least measure of justice that
could have been asked of the Nation
for the men to whom it owes its sal
vation; that it did not represent a
1.-THE of what is due those gallant
,,,on-,,J that -, ,-ofne,pcr 70 onprova
of a bill which was asked for by the
grateful people, petitioned for by
hundreds of thousands of veterans,
passed by both houses Of Congress by
an unusual majority, and which would
have rescued thousands of as deserv-
ing soldiers as followed the flag from
the cold charity of the almshouse, the
present incumbent Of the office of
President has violated the pledge
made to the soldiers when they focked
to the standard Of their country at
at the time Of her greatest peril. has
thwarted tho express will of CRATE
full people, and has inflicted irrepara-
BILE cruelty upon those who should be
the objects Of the tenderest considera-
tion."
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported unfavorably on this resolution,
and some discussion followed, after
which the resolution was defeated.
Gen. Grosvenor spoke in favor of the
report of the Committee, and against
the resolution, as follows:
"Grosvenor, Of Ohio, spoke in favor
of the report. and said he had as much
feeling upon the pension question as
any other man, but he stood as the
of body Of men great
er than the President of the United
States, greater than the Congress of
the United States, and more dignifed
in their utterances than the President
had shown himself to be- He said the
question was more important than
any other that had been submitted in
a National encampment; that the
question was what the encampment
ought to do, whether it ought to make
platforms for political parties, or
ought to state its position in a digni-
fed manner, as though there had nev-
er been a President Of the United
States He said the Grand Army
should stand as a mountain stands
upon the plain, regardless Of the coy
otes at the foot of it, proclaiming in
majestic words that it was in fagor Of
this pension legislation, and opposed
to every attack upon the interest of
the soldiers -

Waverly, or any other town SO vot-

Waverly will make it awfully hot for
Mr.. Heibel. There is one lamentable
characteristic connected with the dog

that is the spirit Of defiance of law.
